8 Guys Share The Most Embarrassing Things They’ve Done After A Breakup

Listen, ending a relationship is really, really hard for everyone involved.It’s usually girls who get a reputation for acting “crazy” after getting broken up with (which is not a fair assessment), but guys can act irrationally, too. They may say that they’re not super emotional, but boys feel heartache just like anyone else. That heartache can make them act “crazy” as well, leading to them doing some seriously embarrassing things that they would rather not discuss. Feeling so broken hearted can make you do things that you would never normally even think about doing. It’s not a gender issue, it’s a human thing!

If you survive the end of a relationship without doing something stupid or mean-spirited, good for you. I’ve done my share of awful things after breakups. I’ve even bought a How To Get Your Boyfriend Back program online, which I do NOT recommend. Why did I want to get someone back who didn’t want to be with me?! From stalking exes online to trying to sleep with their best friends, I’ve done it all. Now that I’m older with more relationships under my belt, I just brush it off and try to handle it in healthy ways. Rejection can take some getting used to, and you usually have to get dumped a couple times before you realize it’s not the end of the world.

To make you feel better about your post-breakup angst, here are some cringe-worthy breakup storiesfrom guys on Reddit. They share the most embarrassing things they’ve done after ending a relationship, and it’s oddly… comforting. Sorry dudes!

He Wrote Down Every Memory

ziggle43: "She said her feelings changed and she couldn't say she loved me anymore, which hurt hard. So I took this fishbowl that she gave me as part of my valentines gift and wrote down like 200 memories that we had thinking that it would make her feel it again. I showed it to her friend and she looked at me like I was crazy, because I was. I didn't give it to her and I threw it down the trash chute with everything else she gave me, but her friends told her what I did."

Got no response.

He Tried To Run Into Her

missingherdearly: "I'd go places I knew she sometimes went on the off chance that I would run I to her and we would talk. In my head we would talk for a little bit and then we'd go somewhere like a coffee shop and she'd remember why she loved me and we'd get back together. In reality I was a weird creepy stalker ex boyfriend."

He Ruined Her Lawn

Dem827: "She cheated on me and lied to me multiple times about certain situations that would later turn out to have really happened.. I bought five pounds of salt and wrote the words 'lying slut' in the grass of her front yard. Within about two weeks the grass all died and he parents front yard had the words 'lying slut' in it.... Looking back, I absolutely recognize that it was extremely immature but with her and that situation the lies ran too deep. Then again I looked like a psycho so that's no good."
